TUTELARY DEMOCRACY IN UNRECOGNIZED STATES

Öz

This paper proposes a theoretical framework for explaining the democratization dynamics in unrecognized states. It is argued that lack of recognition and pressure from the parent state oblige de facto states to depend on a patron state. In return for economic and military assistance, patron states expect to control the decision-making process in de facto states. It is stated that this limits these entities’ democratization potential to a maximum of being a tutelary democracy.

TANINMAMIŞ DEVLETLERDE VESAYET REJİMİ

Öz

Bu makalenin amacı tanınmamış devletlerdeki demokratikleşme sürecindeki dinamikleri açıklayabilmek için bir teorik çerçeve sunmaktır. Tanınmamışlık ve bunun beraberinde daha önce parçası olunan devletten gelen baskılar neticesinde, tanınmamış devletler bir koruyucu devlete ihtiyaç duyarlar. Fakat sağlanılan mali ve askeri yardım karşılığında koruyucu devletler tanınmamış devletlerdeki karar verme mekanizmalarını kontrol ederler. Bu tanınmamış devletlerin demokratikleşme potansiyelini kısıtlar ve bu devletlerde bir vesayet rejiminin oluşmasına yol açar
